Leaving Behind our Loved Ones

I have been away from home for more than three years now and as I look back through my past life, several times I have wondered if I made the wrong decision in leaving behind life with my loved ones, and a stable and respectable profession, to come to America where life is lonely and my future is filled with uncertainties. However, in spite of the difficulties I face, I have faith in the Lord and try to keep a positive outlook, believing that He has something better planned for me.

I do not worry about myself. My three years in America has made me tougher than I was before. However, I am concerned about the welfare of my family back home, especially Nathan. In the Philippines I had a stable income but here in the US, I am back to being a student and still searching for a job. My hope is to be able to continue to provide financial security for my baby now and even when I am gone. I want to get a life insurance policy so that in the event that I go ahead of him, he can still be provided for. I will have to start looking for a good life insurance, one that offers affordable life insurance rates. It is wise to be prepared for tomorrow.
